A group of over 100 alumni and guests had the Paramount Theatre on the famed Paramount Pictures lot in Hollywood all to themselves for an intimate conversation with Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper '74 and Julia Louis-Dreyfus P'14 on May 1.

The event, a fundraiser for financial aid, was moderated by President Michael S. Roth, who prompted his guests with thought-provoking questions about their views on politics, the importance of humor, and the influence of Wesleyan in their lives.
